Why were the Cowboys named "America's Team"?
I'm 31, born in '93, so I'm a younger guy compared to most of you. I never grew up with the Cowboys of the 90s.

Why exactly were they given this renowned title that has stuck with them throughout time? Clearly they were successful, but it's not like there weren't other dynasties before or after them. Heck, the Bulls of the 90s in that same exact era might be more famous than the Cowboys, and they were never given any famous monikers or anything like that.

There had to have been some zeitgeist or cultural relevance of the 90s that led to the "America's Team" name. Can anyone help me out?

EDIT: Okay sorry, apparently it started in the 70's. Shows how little I know.

Landry hated the moniker.

Because when they asked Pittsburgh to be called America’s Team. Pittsburgh told them to get ****ed. They weren’t America’s team they were Pittsburgh’s team. But of course sorry ass Dallas lapped that shit up. **** Dallas with a Big American D.

because of stupid morons that think dallas was something special yet they're not. The Chiefs are the world team. We have fans everywhere.

It fits perfectly.

Clean cut academy boy at QB.
War hero and everybody's stern dad as head coach.
The star on the helmet
The glitz and glamour
The cheerleaders

The 70s were the golden age of NFL monikers.

Basically back in the 70s everyone was more suseptible to shitty marketing. For example; the endless burnt number and sickly avacado color schemes of most appliances in homes.

Dallas as "America's Team" is a clear example of shitty marketing but it seems to have stuck.

That’s why I am proud of the Ref’s support of the Chiefs while talking to opposing fans that bring it up.
